Hello,


The Philosophy Foundation (www.philosophy-foundation.org) is running free philosophy sessions for nursery and reception children (3-5) in June in Sydenham. I have signed my child up but the organiser has just told me that they are low on numbers and might not be able to run these sessions. They need to get a few more kids signed up by Wednesday.

I have no idea what these sessions will be like as I have no connection to the Foundation but this sounds like an interesting idea to enhance the development of our children and it is completely free. Please have a look at the info and link below and contact Emma ([email protected]) if you would like to sign up.


Thank you in advance!


Free philosophy sessions for ages 3-5 (http://www.philosophy-foundation.org/media-centre/upcoming-events#free-philosophy-sessions-for-ages-3-5)



The Philosophy Foundation (www.philosophy-foundation.org) is offering nursery and reception children, and their parents free philosophy sessions for 4 weeks from Tuesday 2nd June.



What's the big idea?


At the age of 4 and 5 children?s ideas about the world are just forming. They are exploring new things, meeting new people and there is a lot to think about: fairness, friendship, pretend and real, fault and blame, happiness, to name just a few.


Our sessions help young people to think through these new ideas and problems as a group. They come together and listen to their peers, developing vital thinking and communication skills that are fundamental to learning across the curriculum.


Play and exploration are at the heart of every young child?s learning and we take this approach to all our sessions which incorporate games, stories and child-led learning.



Where and when?


We will be running three groups - 2 for 3/4 year olds and one for 4/5 year olds at Here for Good, 17 Sydenham Road, SE26 5EX.


Pre-school group (ages 3 and 4)


Tuesday 2nd June - Tuesday 23rd June


Group 1 9.30-10am


Group 2 10am-10.30am


Reception group (ages 4 and 5)


Thursday 4th June - Thursday 25th June


Thursdays 3.45pm-4.45pm


Booking is absolutely essential as we have only a limited number of spaces.


To reserve your place for the 4 week course email [email protected] giving your child?s name, age and which session you would like to come along to.


These sessions are also a chance for parents to watch their children tackle some big questions, and to learn how to question them at home, we therefore recommend that you stay with your child during the sessions.

    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around. 
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
    • The toilets at this spot in the park have been vandalised to such an extent that they are now closed.
    • Hello! I'm looking for 2-3 baby gates I can borrow from 17th August - 6th September for a visitor.  Does anyone have any I could use? Thank you!
